A: His ratings were slipping, and many of his audience were turning away from him.

What was the news out of Chicago these past few days? by Q: Was it that FBI agents arrested the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, and his Chief-of-Staff, John Harris on federal corruption charges? Or was it that reporters with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and The New York Times failed to ask or investigate Obama's possible links to the alleged corruption taking place in filling his vacant Senate seat? Why haven't we heard from the big networks news media? Do you think they would handle it differently if it was, I don't know, let's say Republicans (or Libertarians, or Independents) who were under such allegations?
Obama immediately shifted into damage control mode - perhaps too quickly - and issued an emphatic blanket denial:
"I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not - I was not aware of what was happening."
That was a big mistake. On a par with Bill Clinton's petulant and admonishing denial; "I never had sexual relations with that woman... Ms. Lewinsky."
On the morning of November 5th (a month prior), it was widely reported that Obama would be meeting Blagojevich later that day to discuss his replacement. Here's a portion of one such report from Carol Sowers with KHQA (Channel 7) in Quincy, Illinois:
"Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled. That's one of Obama's first priorities today. He's meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it."
And on November 23rd, Obama advisor David Axelrod told the FOX News Chicago affiliate that Obama and Governor Blagojevich had, in fact, spoken about who should fill the remainder of Obama's term in the Senate:
"I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."
Opps... Axelrod quickly issued a retraction:
"I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject."
(I apologize for the length of this, thanks for your patience...)
I am not trying to put Obama down, he is the president -elect and should have our prayer support. But the questions remain...(see above)

A: The media have carefully avoided any issue that could reflect in a negative manner on Barack Obama.
The Media also carefully avoided the issue of why Rod Baagojevich and Barack Obama requested a visa from The State Department for Nadhmi Auchi.
The State Department had rejected a visa for Nadhmi Auchi for the reason that Nadhimi Auchi is considered an undesirable alien because he had been convicted for his role in an attempted coup d etat )with Saddam Hussein who was then a Colonel in the Iraqi Army) and attempted assassination of a government official in Iraq in 1959.
Later when Saddam Hussein did come to power Nadhmi became Saddam Hussein's bag man and money launderer in the so called "Oil for Food" scandal.
In return for the service of Blagojevich and Obama, Nadhmi Auchi gave Tony Rezko $3.5 million dollars. Part of the $3.5 million was used to buy Obama's house in Chicago.
This is well documented public information, yet the media have been very quiet about this case.
The media is in the tank for Barack Obama.

So news is circulating that those three owners alll met with Goddell in Chicago and DeMaurice Smith was there? by Q: Kraft, Richardson, and Jones all met and Smith and Goddell were there...Do you think that this could be good news?

A: Sure it COULD be good news, the court hearing is scheduled to begin tomorrow, but yet the two sides went out of their way to still meet. It shows they are trying to get something done, but only time will tell if it is working.

What do you think of the Hockey News prediction that Washington will defeat Chicago in the 2012 Stanley Cup? by 2JacqQ: I think the Capitals are talented and deep. The acquisition of Tomas Vokoun at Goalie is a huge boon for only 1.5 million. But are they going to finally be able to follow through on their potential?
What say you? Who do you pick?
It's early...just food for thought! It's on my mind today since I got the Hockey News preview in the mail. :)

A: I don't think the caps are going to win the cup this year but they have a very talented team. Based on how they usually perform in the playoffs I guess we'll just have to wait and see because they often disappoint.
You are right though...too early to tell
Have a nice week :)

Why does the Chicago news only report shootings in the South Side when we North Siders are in such denial? by ChiefQ: Ok people, let's face it. There have been shootings going on in Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village for the past several months. Also, at random, two guys got together and have been robbing people at gun point in these neighborhoods, and drive-by shootings have been confirmed by other people in the neighborhood last weekend on Hoyne and Chicago Ave.. Why is it that the Chicago news only talks about how bad the South Side is? Are they afraid of scaring all the North Side douchebags and hipsters? Are they petrified of ruining the North Side's reputation? This is such bullsh*t and it makes me want to vomit. We are in such denial up here and being lied to constantly!! Why can't the news report anything about North Side shootings and theft? Do they not want us to be alert and on guard? Does anyone have a legit answer? I'm dying to hear it.
Thank you,
Chief

A: Finally Chicagoans who aren't in denial!!!!
The news does not report crime in the north-side because crime just doesn't happen there. (sarcasm)
I guess they figure all crimes are committed in the poor neighborhoods. Most of the poor neighborhoods are on the south-side so that's what they focus on.
Simply put its about race and money.Chicago is just a big corrupt sh*thole anyway if you ask me.
Counting the days till im homeward bound (NYC).

Chicago Daily News Building/Riverside Plaza? by sonnyboyQ: I know that the building was originally used for the Chicago Daily News, but what is it currently used for?

A: This building, now called Riverside Plaza for its location adjacent to the Chicago River, has three sections in its design: the plaza level which faces the river (floors 1-7), the tower (floors 8-23), and the crown of the tower (floors 24-26). This was the first of the buildings on the river to treat the river as an amenity rather than a problem. Typically the riverside buildings were industrial in nature and the backs of the structures butted up against the riverside. The city was calling for the beautification of the riverfront corridor and this building literally opens its arms to the river with the plaza on the riverside and the building's "arms" flanking the plaza. Now if you take a ride down the river nearly all of the buildings you see are designed with the river in mind and either have plazas or promenades incorporated in their design.
Art deco ornamentation can be seen throughout the structure using the materials of limestone, polished granite, marble, and white metal. Originally the mural mentioned by artist John W. Norton was on the ceiling of the main floor. It was removed in 1993 for restoration, but as of yet the funds have not been raised for the work.
If you look across the river from the Plaza you'll see the Civic Opera Building, another important deco building in the history of Chicago's architecture.

Any news from Chicago about them re-signing Jason Williams? by DewmanQ: As a Wings fan, I can say I was a huge fan of his, and I'm really surprised there is not a lot of talk surrounding him. He is a great player with speed and a hard shot. He can play the point on the PP too.

Why is violent so bad in south side Chicago? On the news they say they need the national guard there to help? by GoldenAgeHollywoodGirlQ: police to control the violence. Whats up with all the violence?

A: I live on the south side of the Chi it's not bad were I am at just on the low end. The violence to me is so out of control because the city tow down those projects and spread the people all over the place many people were left without a home. We are also living in the last days. Earthquakes in divers places, floods, tsunami, famine, pestilence and diseases, increase in sexual sins, crime and war. Every time you turn on the news or get on the internet or read a newspaper it is always something heart aching on there. Look at the increase of wars people killing there families. Look at the increase in knowledge because of the internet, travels, T.V, the radio and more we now know what is happening around the world right at this moment. So I say get yourself right because we are living in the last days.

Why does Chicago have OLD people as their news anchors? by Q: I am not kidding, I have satellite and I receive several tv stations from Chicago and all of their newscasters are SOO OLD and UNattractive, I dont understand since majority of the country try to get increase in viewers by putting attractive newscaster to do the news..people want to see hot attractive newscasters like NYC and Los Angeles.
I am in a little town in NY and even here we have some attractive young people doing the news.
So whats the deal there?

A: I thought I had heard some drivel on this site but this takes the cookie,you are ageist and will soon realise how shallow you appear.I have seen young attractive presenters who had nothing between their ears intellectually so I find older people are more professional,have in depth knowledge and can intelligently interview people,get to the truth,cut out the bull and that is what I want.Youth and beauty fades but the intellect survives longer so show a bit of respect,it doesn't cost anything and demonstrates considered opinion.

I'm trying to find out how many people actually watch Chicago Channel 7 news, how can I find out? by marthafocused2Q: I watch the news all the time, and I'm curious ( I couldnt find the info on the sites), my favorite news is on Chicago's channel 7 11am broadcast, so, how many people actually tune in, where is that info?

A: You might want to check out the Nielson ratings... maybe they have that information available...
other than that - all the stations will claim that they are the best and tinge the results of surveys and such... so it's really hard to get a good estimate.
Too much shady competition between stations...
